Why read it?
1 author picked Something Sweet as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I’m impressed. At 73 pages, this indie novella is expertly constructed and tightly written and boasts a pitch-perfect ending. It isn’t for the faint of heart, though. It contains adult situations and the author himself calls it a “gross little story” (it’s only gross at the end though).
It would make an excellent X-Files episode and is reminiscent of the work of Stephen King (in the best possible sense). Can't wait to see more from Christopher Sweet!
